Aurora singing opera on the corner
Django plays guitar and sings it blue
Hey world seek forgiveness not permission
Youth in revolution how about you
Someones got opinion hold the monkey
Bullet proof love lingers long and low
Little darlin' left the light on above the book store
Kicks off her shoes and dances for the money they throw
Youth don't care what we learned to believe in
Youth aint got no place to call its own
They paint the streets in love and life and music
In boots and skirts and beards they call this home
There's beauty in their wisdom like Aristotle
Youths singing a cappella from the street below
They're bringing the streets to life bang bang bang come on
Paint the world graffiti Picasso
Painter come show me round back of meaning
They studied all things one day they will prove
T-shirt said 'sex not as good as kissing'
Youth's a revelation on the move
The young they own the city and not the skyline
They own the logic that makes rebellion bloom
Tap dancing painters riding boxcar
Telling stories with cigarettes over sampled tunes
No one came down here for the glory
Graffiti Picasso pays his dues
When it rains it don't wash away their haunting
Youth's got nothing but itself to lose
There's beauty in their wisdom like Aristotle
Youths singing a cappella from the world below
They're bringing the streets to life bang bang bang come on
Paint the world graffiti Picasso
